Ingredients

2 lbs. 90-96% lean ground turkey
1 tbs olive oil
1/2 small onion finely diced
2 cloves of finely chopped garlic
1/4 cup beef bone broth (for added moisture and protein)
1 large egg
1 tbs sea salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tbs dried oregano
1/2 tbs dried parsley
1/2 cup 4C gluten free breadcrumbs

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly spray a 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
Heat medium sized skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and onions heating for about 2 minutes or until lightly golden. Add chopped garlic and continue cooking for about 1 minute until soft and lightly golden. Remove from heat and spoon out onions and garlic into a small bowl and set aside.
In a large bowl, mix the turkey, breadcrumbs, bone broth, egg, parsley, salt, pepper, oregano, and parsley until combined. Don't overmix or the meat won't be as tender.
Add onions and garlic to turkey mixture.
Transfer the turkey mixture to the loaf pan.
Spoon ketchup on top of the turkey and spread evenly.
Bake turkey meatloaf 45 to 50 minutes, or until the center reaches 160°F. Allow to rest 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
